McEntee’s Law: That which won’t be tolerated abounds

We often hear that Fine Gael is the party of law and order, and whether that is the case or not, they’ve chosen to entrust the safeguarding of that title to Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee, who earlier this week reminded us that gang violence is “completely unacceptable” and “not something we will tolerate on our streets”.

It occurred to me as I heard those words that the only law Minister McEntee is likely to be remembered for is what I’ll call ‘McEntee’s Law’: That which the Minister claims is most unacceptable and least to be tolerated will abound.

Its funny that she said protests and signs on a ministers houses wont be tolerated but illegals masturbating at peoples windows or in hospitals is perfectly fine. Its also funny that when these points would be raised with her, she cant comment on individual cases but has no problem commenting on map or the tea boy. People do this stuff because they are not afraid of her or the system and it is seen as fighting back against the system that she and her colleagues created in the first place. All that comes out of her mouth are sound bites in a vain attempt to come across as strong but she is coming across as weak and for one very simple reason and that is she is doing wrong by the irish nation. When a nation has nothing to lose as it loses its sovereignty, nationalism and culture, they have nothing left to lose and its her and her administration is causing this. The one thing history has taught is that you dont mess with the irish people because we will bite back. We are a small nation and like a little villiage unlike larger countries and we will fight injustice regardless of who is doing it, its just the way we are and political parties using their so called positions to inflict authority and doing wrong will not be tolerated. We are not idiots and when the minister for injustice decided to trun the black n tans against the people and violate their own code of conducts which is to protect the irish nation to facilitate her administration breaking the law, she broke the social contract between the irish people and the black n tans whos reputation is at an all time low. The simple message is that you reap what you sow and just because she is busy feathering her own nest, does not mean that the irish people will put up with it. There is a point when people will listen but when you destroy the social contract and play victim, all bets are off. She and the administration are the problem and not the people as its their job to do the will of the people and the people are not on their side.

Ireland’s Eurovision entry should have been called ‘No Rules’ and the Irish ministers should be made run naked, hiding their private-parts, on the stage in Malmo!

The funny thing about it Frank is that they probably do that in private anyways in their Masonic lodges…. Lol. I’m genuinely sickened by that entry and shame on their families.

What they are doing is reducing us all the time… you can’t do this… you can’t do that… you have to vote as we say… you have to have only what we allow on your laptop… you are only allowed to think what we tell you… you are not allowed to protest against migrants …etc.. I think, after the revolution, After a court finding them guilty, we should put them live on ‘X’ getting punished for the damage they did to us and our country…as an example for globalists in all the World!… This was not their job!

McEntee benefits. She is drawing a ministerial salary every month. Not bad considering that she is a simpleton. Whoever is giving her her orders benefits as the social fabric of Irish society is destroyed by an incompetent government that no only refused to listen to respectful representations from its citizens but who reacted to same with vile slander and batten charges. O there are people benefiting Jason. It just that very few of them are Irish.

She hasn’t a clue, probably Ireland’s most incompetent justice minister ever.

Another one of her soundbites – “unhelpful” & personally I find it intolerable, unacceptable and unhelpful that she’s still around.
That face would crack a diamond.

McEntee was born to a political family but is not a natural politician.

I do give her credit for honouring her Dad’s legacy and trying to continue his work.

However, her performance in the job of Minister of Justice has been disastrous and the results are laid out for all to see:

1. Gardai afraid to police.

2. Criminals operating with close to free rein.

3. Laughable border control, for illegal immigration or smuggling.

4. An uncomfortable sense in society that social order is fragile or broken.

Her recent TV performance with fellow TD McNamara was frankly worrying. It showed that she has a weak grasp over the department.

I remember hating Brian Cowen (Minister of Finance ) for his incompetence. It brought untold misery; lives lost; careers lost; companies lost, just all gone while he got pissed as a newt. I still hate him.

Now, it is McEntee that displays this level of incompetence that could equally bring Ireland to it’s knees.

It is boils my piss just listening to the bullshit she rattles out.

Her greatest patriotic duty would be to resign.

Interesting that she wants to kill the freedom of the country, that her Father Shane McEntee loved… In that case, If I were him, I would prefer not to have a daughter, I guess!

She is sacrificing our nation and it’s social cohesion at the altar of the glorification of her compassion and non-existent ability.

Sinn Fein … are you mad?!! Mary Lou is the biggest SNAKE of them all. She voted to remove the word mother from the constitution … something De Valera fought for. ”The woman really is the homemaker” – De Valera.

AI scrambled nonsense unleashed. Time to get back to our ancestral roots, dig deep and discover that we are only here for our now lifetimes so enjoy it.

Would you support a decision by Ireland to copy the UK's "Rwanda Plan", under which asylum seekers are sent to the safe - but third world - African country instead of being allowed to remain here?
